Sleek, comfortable, economically friendly and fuel efficient vehicle.

My vehicle is incredibly reliable, easy to maintain, comfortable, fuel efficient and great performance. It has an incredibly smooth ride, great torque and horsepower to get up and go. Very inexpensive and easy to maintain as parts are widely available. For a truck, it gets great gas mileage.

Linda S

It a good price for a reliable truck!

We love Honda's! The truck is a nice ride and has plenty of room. Love the trunk in the truck bed! It gets pretty good gas mileage also.

Larry M

Great truck and rides like a car.

Very good mpg for a FWD. Has a pickup bed and rides like a car because its on the pilot chassis. Has a trunk and two way tailgate. Big back seat and very comfortable. All electrics and the fit and finish is perfect. It is a full size and still fits in my garage.

2012 Honda ridgeline. Love the reliability of Honda. Perfect vehicle for me.

I have always owned Honda's, but have never considered a ridgeline until my Toyota tundra was totaled last year. This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. Great gas mileage for a truck, super reliable, roomy, plenty of power and storage (love the trunk in the bed). I work on construction sites and it is great for hauling everything I need. I cannot imagine owning another vehicle. I'll give this one to my son when he turns 16 and buy another one for sure.

Joseph L

There is a lot of legroom and it is very comfortable.

I hated it when a air bag recall was issued. I love the trunk in the bed of my pick up truck. The gas mileage on my truck is great .

Scott S

Perfect mid-sized pick-up

This is the most reliable, versatile, and comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. The fuel mileage is decent for a four wheel drive and the towing capacity and performance is exceptional for a V-6. I don't have any complaints about this vehicle. I highly recommend it.

Paris M

Great car with smooth driving.

It is comfortable, drives well, and I have had minimal problems over the years. It is smooth riding, and very reliable. The interior is nice and has kept up well. I have only put a little bit of money into maintenance, with only small problems. Overall a great car.

The Honda Ridgeline: Truly the Thinking Man's Tank

My truck is a wonderful machine to travel in as well as work in. It is tough yet good looking, practical and yet classy enough for a date. Great sound system, air conditioning for front and rear seat section.

Great vehicle but does not have to ability to grow with a growing family.

Great vehicle but mpg has decreased over the last couple years and my family has outgrown the vehicle space available. I love the storage in the bed of the ridgeline. The vehicle I bought has unique size tires which makes it hard to shop for tires, especially off road. I wish it also has a little more get up and go from the engine when I need to accelerate on the freeway.

Denay A

It gets the job done but would be a more comfortable truck.

The seating is not comfortable. The headlights are not automatic and there is no way to turn off the running lights if the vehicle is on. Interior material stains from just condensation drops. The gas mileage is horrible for a Honda. However it drives nice I love the look of it and the trunk in the bed of the truck is nice to have.

Matt T

Average car. Average truck.

Its a 2012 ridgeline. I like it fine. Silis average car. Solid average truck. Good reliable car. Not the best on gas but decent. Not the missy comfortable but decent. Not the messy room but decent. Four wheel drive works good never gotten stuck. It's a well rounded car. Pretty good in every area but great in none.

Pros from Owners

Sharon Z.

There is a lot of room. It has a back seat with two doors and each seat folds down or up. It has a four ft. Truck bed and a trunk underneath that serves as a cooler with a drain. Honda's are known to last at least 200K miles with little maintenance issues. Can haul things in it.

Geena B.

Manufactured by Honda, lasting value, cost effective in maintenance and repairs, durable, reliable, comfortable, decent gas mileage, great performance, all around great vehicle. 10/10 recommend. Love Honda vehicles.

Cons from Owners

Sharon Z.

The only thing that I can think of is that it will only haul 5K pounds. It only gets about 18 miles per gallon. Electric seats are not standard on the vehicle. The earlier models did not come with a Bluetooth installed.

Geena B.

I have no issues with my vehicle. I am not a fan of all the bells and whistles all the newer vehicles have today like the lane departure warning system, blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, front end collision warning, all the apps on the radio/entertainment system, navigation, Bluetooth, satellite radio, etc. I like my vehicle just the way it is and have no need for all the current technology.
